Painful subluxation of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

J Hand Surg Am. 1985 Sep;10(5):661-3. doi: 10.1016/s0363-5023(85)80203-3.

Abstract

Two cases of subluxation of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb in children with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are presented. Although hand involvement is not universally appreciated, the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb may be particularly susceptible to weakened ligamentous constraints in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
